Earenniel P.O.V

Location: Hallway

A few hours passed and it seemed everyone knew who I was. Everyone kindly showed me around the castle and acquainted with me with every corridor. Now I am able to make my way around this fortress with ease.

I walk around the compound with my personal assistant, Caladhiel (kah-Lah-Thee-Ell). She was tall but an inch shorter than me and had blonde hair that reached to down to her shoulder blades. Despite telling the servants they didn't have to bow before me, they still did as they passed by. I simply could not stop them from bowing to me. What other crazy rules did this kingdom have? Caladhiel (kah-Lah-Thee-Ell) soon informed me that Royalty does not treat servants kindly but rather mandated them to bow down to royals or anyone higher rank than them from a young age.

The longer Caladhiel and I walked the more I saw everyone extremely busy. All the servants were rushing up and down the corridors with decorative items.

"Caladhiel?" I ask as I stopped and turned towards her.

"Yes, My lady?"Caladhiel says, stopping without hesitation.

"Please... just call me Earenniel, we are friends now, Are we not?" I question.

"Very well, what is it you wanted to ask me?...Earenniel." She says smiling shyly.

"What is it that everyone is getting ready for?" I ask.

"Mirith nin aearon." She says.

"Feast of the great sea?" I question as I raise my eyebrow.

"Yes, one of many feasts we have. You came at a good time, that reminds me; I must help you get ready." She says.

"Sounds like my kind of party, but I don't think it will be necessary for you to help me Caladhiel...In fact, I don't need anyone to help me get ready I can aid myself." I say.

"It is my job, Princess. Now come and Follow me. I have chosen a few dresses, I think you might like them Earenniel." She says.

"I have not yet been here a day and I am already treated like royalty." I say.

"That is because you are, my lady, all the servants have been told by Prince Elenion to treat you as if you have always lived in our kingdom." She says.

"Well, you're doing a wonderful job. Now, Show them to me, I'm sure you have chosen them well." I say sending her a slight smile.

"Of course my lady, Right this way. I will show you to your bedchambers." She says.

We walk the long corridors to a room separate from all the rest. I saw a single grand door at the end of the hallway with two guards standing in front of it.

"Wow, they really go all out don't they." I say looking towards Caladhiel on my left.

"If you're talking about the guards in front of your door, they are for your protection. You are the rightful queen to our throne, my lady." She said referring back to the term I didn't want her to use. Perhaps it's because she is in someone's company and that is why she won't use my first name like I told her to.

"As I told my uncle, I do not want it. Why can't I just give it to him?" I mumble stepping through the grand doors that the guards just opened for Caladhiel and me to step through.

The first thing I noticed when I stepped into the room was the window. Maybe it is wide enough for my Pegasus to fly through? The view of the kingdom was amazing.

"Caladhiel, What is that over there? I believe it is too far to be apart of this kingdom." I say using my elf eyes to see it.

"That is the outskirts of Imladris, also known as Rivendell. Much farther than it looks, It's one of our many neighboring kingdoms." She says looking out to see the view.

"I'm curious, Where is Mirkwood? My uncle mentioned it briefly when we first met, My mother ruled there before her passing, If my uncle was not mistaken." I say.

"It is true, her marriage to the Elvenking of Mirkwood was a great loss. She was the life of this kingdom and when Aearlondell got news of her death we were in grievance for centuries...I could only Imagine how you took the news, My lady...The woodland kingdom is surrounded by trees, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if you looked upon it from a window. It is far past Imladris" Caladhiel says.

"I guess I'll have to visit then, Sometime in the near future. Have you ever been?" I ask.

"No, I have never left Aearlondell." She says.

At the sound of a knock, Caladhiel jumped in fright. Her eyes never leaving the door.

"Are you decent?" A voice came from the door.

Caladhiel looked at me her eyes still holding a fearful gaze.

"My lady, I must warn you. The king does this to everyone who claims to be his granddaughter." Caladhiel says, her voice only coming out in whispers.

"Does what?" I ask.

Before she could answer the door is opened without our consent.

"Caladhiel, Leave the room." One of the three Ellons now standing in front of the door to the room says.

"Yes, My lord. I wish you luck Earenniel." Caladhiel says rushing out the room. The door is closed behind her.

"Leave us, I would like to speak to my granddaughter alone." We were now the only two Elves left in the room the only thing I could do was stare at him questionably.

"If you are my granddaughter you will not be needing luck." He says, circling around me as if to take in every feature I have.

"What are you doing?" I question.

"A test, to see if you are really are, who you say you are?" He says.

"Guards bring it in." The king said and my eyes curiously looked towards the door.

An ellon came in wielding a sword in its scabbard and handed it to me, returning outside once he was finished.

"That sword was Ellerian's...Many Eleth's have wielded it, all around your age. None of them have ever passed this test."

"What do you want me to do with it?" I asked.

"Fight me." At his words, I manage to remove the sword from its case and block his oncoming weapon.

"I don't want to fight you." I say pushing him and his sword away from me, my strength sending him into the dresser.

"They said the exact same thing, right before I killed them...Most of them never lasted this long." The king said.

"You killed innocent Elleth's?!" I say.

"They were not innocent they lied to me." He states.

I clutched the sword in my hand tighter my anger rising. Just remember what Ares always says. 'Never let your opponent get the best of you because that is how they will best you. Control your emotions! Don't lose focus!' Ares' voice played in my head as if he was with me at this exact moment.

"Heal yourself or die." I gasped as I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.

His blade went straight through my stomach and came out the other way. My legs felt weak the no longer could support me and I fell towards the ground in a heap of pain. I could the warmth of my blood soaking the inside of my dress. I put pressure on the wound on my stomach.

I watched as the king left the room momentarily coming back with a pint in his left hand while his bloody sword was held in his left.

"How can you be drinking at a time like this?" I cry out.

"It's not for drinking." Next thing I know I am drenched with water.

"See, My granddaughter's father is Poseidon, god of the sea. She would be able to heal any wound inflicted upon her with water."

"If you are my granddaughter, heal." He says getting up from his kneeling position.

"Earthquakes and Horses." I mumble.

"What?!" He questions not hearing what I had just said.

"My father's full title is Poseidon, God of the Sea, Earthquakes, and Horses." I say strongly.

All the water that was poured on me begins to travel to all my wounds. The king looked astonished as he witnessed what was happening. Probably thinking She's healing before my eyes.

"You are my granddaughter after all." He says.

"I'm not expecting a hug or anything considering what you did to the other Eleth's before me. Could've found another method, ever thought of the outcome of finding me after doing this little test?" I question.

"Actually, I have...You dear granddaughter will do everything I say, No questions asked. You are now fully under my control."

"Yes, My king...What are your orders?" I question.

"Forget the fight that took place between you and me, forget the pain you felt when my blade passed through you, you will remember nothing of this moment. I was just merely here to give you your mother's sword, a gift for your return to us." He says leaving me alone to ponder, What just happened?
